another concern which we understand
has been ferreted out and closed up by
the post-oflice authorities.
Now word to the boys: If you want
to buy watch for yourself or ring
for your best girl, go or send to some
responsible dealer in those articles and
expect to pay all it is worth, for those
articles have as exact and fixed value
as do corn and wheat and potatoes; but
if you want twenty or an hundred-fold
return for your money, just take half
dollar and plant it carefully, as you
would potato. Stick up stick, so
you will know where it is, and dig the
crop in the fall. And if nobody dis
turbs the seed your return will be much
more bountiful than it would be if you
invested the same money in any of
these schemes which promise so much
for so little pay, and it doesn't help a
particle if they want you to "intro-
duce" the article.
And word of advice to kind-hearted
and accommodating farmers: Don't
sign any receipts for goods left on sale,
or agreements on printed blanks, for
strangers with a genial smile and a
pleasing address, for they have a way
of afterwards turning up as unquali-
fed promises to pay, and the inno-
cent(?) purchaser collects them by law.

The Right Kind of Talk.

About once in so often the dismal howl
reverberates around the state that farm
ing is played out in Vermont" Then the
young men start in shoals for the West
where all they have to do is to raise wheat
at a dollar bushel and own aten-thousand-
acre farm clear in five years. The land
there is " rich and requires no fertilizer"
churches, schools, stores banks and every
thing in the line of necessities, or even lux
uries, are right within reach; the climate is
grand, even sublime, and all nature seems
to smile. This is one side of it. For the
other side, read the daily papers Farming
is not played out in Vermont" The farms
are not worn out. The State of Vermont is
an agricultural state, if anything, and it is
not in the position of an old man who has
outlived his usefulness, is broken down and
is neglected to end his days in the poor
house. AS an agricultural and produce
producing state, Vermont is not dead nor
yet sleeping. 1t is not permanently worn
out. 1t has not outlived its usefulness
Many farms have been seriously injured and
their productive capacity impaired by ig-
norant and careless farming, but the land is
not to blame. Farming is a profession and
ignorant and shiftless drones cannot make
a success of it. Intelligent farming pays in
Vermont Don't starve your land until it
is sick and temporarily broken down and
then leave it because it don't pay" We

The OleOmargarine Law.

The oleomargarine law has not proved
such boon to the farmers and dairy
men of the Eastern States as they eX-
pected. 1t has, to be sure, put an
effective quietus upon the trade in
bogus butter, but it has not caused the
high prices for genuine products that
the friends of the law predicted. But
ter has for some time been selling as
low, and in some instances even lower,
than at this time a year and two years
ago. This fact causes much disappoint-
ment among butter men, and has led
some to think that after all the law
might as well have never been passed.
How mistaken is such notion was
shown recently by Assistant State Dairy
Commissioner Van Valkenburgh in
discussing the results of the new law.
1t is true" he said, " that state dairy
butter is no higher now than it was two
years ago at this time. The reason,
however, of this is plain. Previous to
the encroachment of the law, thousands
and thousands of cows throughout the
country were allowed to go dry through
out the winter, because, in many in
stances, butter would only bring six or
seven cents pound to the farmer.
But when the oleomargarine law passed
the price of genuine butter went up all
over the country. The dairy business
was stimulated to a high degree and
enough butter was produced to keep
down prices here. estimate that over
S3,000,000 worth has been produced.
This shows whether the butter business
has been benefited or not, Then think
what the law has done for the consumer,
in giving him good butter for the price
which he has heretofore been compelled
to pay for the bogus article. This is,
after all, the great gain. The recent
strikes have also done much to depress
the butter market" How about the
oleomargarine trade in this city ?"
"Well, think we have got it pretty
we'll under foot. OF the 10000 grocers
in this city and Brooklyn, not 200 have
taken licenses to sell the stuff. In
round numbers, should say that not
one-tenth as much oleomargarine is
now sold as before the passage of the
law.-Tribmne.

Farming as a Business.

The Pennsylvania Farmer takes exception
to Mr.. Cheever's statement that farming
is much better business than many would
have it, and INDUCES in column of bitter
ness at the fate of the poor farmer, gulled
by every one, kept in ignorance, without
recreation, prosecuted by congress, com
PEELED to make a slave of his wife and
neglect the education of his children, the
hardest worked and least rewarded man in
may be such an abused, down-trodden per-
son, but his New England brother is not.
The average New England farmer has lots
of hard work, but he gets share of the
comforts and luxuries of life, has a good
home and an educated, well-dressed fam
lily. The Pennsylvania editor calls the ar
ticle that appeared in these columns Z" a
submit to a jury of intelligent New England
farmers whether his facts are not as bad as
his manners.-Ne,C England Farmer.
Brother Whitaker, if the PennSylvd-
MIA Farmer man knows the name of
what you give him better than you do,
and is willing to apply it, we don't see
as you have any call to complain about
it. We wish it would wash " all such
miserable nonsense out of him and all
his ilk. We have altogether too much
of such talk about poor, ignorant,
down-trodden, prosecuted farmers.
They are not, as rule, of that breed
and most of such talk is the baldest of
trash uttered by demagogues for per-
sonal ends.

An Error Of Record.

George w. Bolton of Montpelier APP
piled for a pension in 1884, and learned
from the pension office, which was his
first knowledge of the fact, that the rec
ords in the war department showed him
to be deserter from the service. He
applied to have his record corrected in
the ad iutant-general' office, but his re-
quest was denied Senator Edmunds
introduced in congress a petition for a
special act removing the charge of de-
sertion from the record. The petition
was referred to the military COM
mittee, who reported that they re-
ceived information from the adiutant-
general, L. S. A., that George w. Boil
ton of Company b, Eleventh Indiana
Volunteers, enlisted March g., 1865;
was admitted to post hospital at Relay
House, Maryland, June IA, 1865; re-
turned to duty June %, 1865, and de-
serted at Relay House July 10, 1865;
that his application had been rejected
in the Acknowledgement office because
the records showed that the soldier de-
serted and never returned to duty.
The committee find the facts to be that
Mr.. Bolton was admitted to the post
hospital at the Relay House, Mary
land, and while there, unable to per-
form duty, his company and regiment
were ordered to Baltimore to be mus
tered out; and when he was able he
returned home, and was not aware
that he was charged with desertion I'M
til about the year 1884. Your COM
mittee are satisfied he never deserted
the service, and report to the senate
a bill for his relief and recommend its
passage" The bill passed the senate
and was sent to the house only few
days before the adjournment of con-
gress, and consequently was not reached
and reported.
